‘A Christmas Story’ Is America’s Favorite Christmas Movie…What Else Is There? — Survey of the Day

It wouldn’t be Christmas time without Christmas movies, and even though the same half-dozen or so holiday classics tend to be played again and again during December two Christmas films folks are still not sick of are ‘A Christmas Story’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’

According to a new survey from Harris Online of 2,499 adults, ‘A Christmas Story’ is the most popular yuletide film, having been picked by 20 percent of respondents as their favorite. In a close second at 19 percent is the James Stewart and Donna Reed-led classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ followed by ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ (16 percent), ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ (16 percent) and ‘The Santa Clause’ (eight percent). Twenty percent of respondents picked none of the above.
